Pamela from Astronomy Cast just dropped me a note to let y’all know that she and fellow Astronomy Caster Rebecca are at the Lunar and Planetary Society Conference in Houston, and are live-blogging the event. Also, her student Scott Miller is at Cape Canaveral, and he’ll be live-blogging the Shuttle launch on Tuesday!
So if you want up-to-the-minute astronomy news and rocket launches, you know where to go.
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

The most complete - and fastest - coverage of shuttle launches and operations usually comes from here.

BA,
Is there anywere we can send you pics of the shuttle launch? I’m in the Daytona Beach area and think I can get a pretty good shot.

firemancarl, that’s a fantastic offer! It’s a stretch, but you can post astronomy-related images on BAUT in the Astrophotography section. Tell everyone I said it was OK.
I don’t think anyone will mind.
